# Create a webhook

POST https://app.hindsiteind.com/api/v2/webhooks
Content-Type: application/json

Subscribes a URL to one or more events (REST-hook style, as used by Zapier, Make and Power Automate). Unknown event names are dropped; the response shows the events that were kept. Store the returned `signing_secret` to verify deliveries.

Reference: https://api-docs.hindsiteind.com/hindsite-api/webhooks/post-webhooks

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Flow. To obtain an access token: 1. Request API credentials from HINDSITE support to receive your `client_id` and `client_secret` 2. Make a POST request to obtain an access token: ``` POST https://app.hindsiteind.com/oauth/token Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET ``` 3. The response will contain your access token: ```json { "access_token": "your_access_token_here", "token_type": "Bearer", "expires_in": 7200, "created_at": 1234567890 } ``` 4. Include the token in subsequent API requests: ``` Authorization: Bearer your_access_token_here ```

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a WebhookCreateRequest.

- `subscribed_actions` (list of string, required) — Event names from **List subscribable events**. Unknown names are ignored.
- `name` (string, optional) — Optional label. Defaults to `API subscription`.

## Response

### 201

- `subscribed_actions` (list of string, optional) — Event names this webhook receives, from **List subscribable events**.
- `signing_secret` (string, optional) — HMAC-SHA256 key for the `X-Webhook-Signature` header on every delivery.
